We can be heroes... just for one slay

Kenny declares 'so many can step up' with magical moment... doesn’t matter who it is

MCLEAN MAN Kenny McLean bagged the winning penalty in the Scots' shoot-out win over Israel on their way to Euro 2020

A stunning winner in Oslo to sink Norway and secure a win that proved huge in helping Steve Clarke's side into the next Euros in Germany.

These are cherished moments for the midfielder and still get brought up when he speaks to Tartan Army members.

McLean would love another for the ultimate chance to get to the game's greatest event but, in truth, he’s not bothered who does the business so long as it’s someone in dark blue.

He said: “I've been fortunate to have had some big moments in a Scotland jersey. It is the pinnacle. Those are moments you look back on and say, I've put myself in a position to be there’.

“But whoever it is, there will be somebody who will be the hero this week, I'm sure.

“Listen, I don't care who puts us in a position to be successful.

“I hope everybody's got that mentality, that mindset of saying, 'I can be the guy who steps up’ because there are so many people who can step up.

“I hope everybody's thinking they can be the one who takes that responsibility, have that moment that can make a difference in a match.
